Asis seeks a new director after Claudio Alì announces his departure
Claudio Alì has announced he will leave his job as director general of Asis, the company that manages sports facilities in Trento, Italy.
Asis president Martino Orler said Alì told the company between June and early July that another job opportunity was in play.
Alì has offered to stay until the end of the year so the company can find a successor.
Asis has opened a selection process, with applications due by October 16, a ranking expected by the end of November and a new director's name targeted by the end of December.
The replacement is expected to take over in 2027.
Reports have linked Alì's departure to strained relations with city councillor Elisabetta Bozzarelli, but Orler said professionals do not always agree and described the situation as routine.
The change comes amid wider debate about how the city and Asis should work together on sports facilities and future planning.

This story does not have two clearly opposing sides.
The director told us, between June and early July, that he had another job opportunity, while making himself available until the end of the year to allow us to find a replacement within the necessary time.
I see no controversy, just episodes of ordinary administration.
I am convinced that the city administration must set a political direction, but if it has been decided to have a company that deals with sports facilities, it must be left free to work.
